Regional Conference of the Outreach of the OSCE Code of Conduct

From
1-3 September, MEDAC in collaboration with the governments of
Switzerland, Tunisia and Germany, as well as the Geneva Centre for
Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF) organised a regional
conference on the OSCE Code of Conduct on Politico-Military Aspects of
Security. The conference took place in Tunis and was destined
specifically for the countries of the southern Mediterranean region.
Following upon the Malta conference of 2013, it marked the first ever
conference on the OSCE Code of Conduct to be held in an OSCE
Mediterranean Partner for Cooperation. The Conference was attended by
some 50 participants from most of the countries of the southern
Mediterranean. Participants included (high ranking) military and police
officers, civil servants from the defence, interior and foreign
ministries, as well as independent experts from think tanks and civil
society organisations. Themes discussed at the conference included the
OSCE Code of Conduct, in particular its potential role as an outreach
instrument, as well as security sector reform and governance issues in
the Mediterranean region. The conference was funded by the governments
of Switzerland and Germany.
